“Father, you finally came!”
Qingxue Silan looked at Qingxue Futian with excitement. Although her mood was exhilarated, her expression remained calm and composed.
Qingxue Futian glanced at Qingxue Silan in surprise. In the past, whenever this second daughter of his saw him, she would rush into his embrace with excitement. He didn't expect her to be so composed this time. With a complex expression, he looked at Qingxue Silan, feeling her determined demeanor and couldn't help but sigh.
His daughter had really grown up; it seemed this trip had indeed had a significant impact on her.
“Ah Ming, Ah Bing, you've worked hard this time. Was the journey relatively smooth?” Qingxue Futian inquired of Uncle Ming and Uncle Bing while leading a group of powerful figures from the Zhuge family.
“Returning to the master, everything was relatively smooth, but there was some conflict with the people from the Zhuge family in Nandou City,” Uncle Ming immediately replied respectfully.
“I already know about this matter. Hmph, the Zhuge family, I will settle this score with them,” Qingxue Futian said with a cold gaze, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed to stir the laws of the heavens around him, causing everyone present to feel a sense of suffocation.
“By the way, what about the young man who saved you? I haven't seen him. I want to thank him properly,” Qingxue Futian glanced around and said.
Qingxue Silan's expression fell as she said, “Father, Master had to handle some matters and has already left.”
“Already left?” Qingxue Futian was taken aback for a moment. However, seeing Qingxue Silan's dejected look, he couldn't help but glance at Uncle Ming and Uncle Bing in confusion. He knew his daughter well; how could she show such a lost expression? Moreover, Qingxue Silan referred to him as Master; what exactly was going on?
As if sensing Qingxue Futian's doubts, Uncle Ming immediately recounted everything that had happened along the journey.
“So you're saying that he saved you more than once?”
Qingxue Futian was shocked. He didn’t expect that along the way, Qingxue Silan and the others had encountered so many dangers. Fortunately, they were safe; otherwise, he would never forgive himself.
“Based on your description, could this young man be from some top power in the Heavenly Realm?” Qingxue Futian mused. If it were just Qingxue Silan, he might still doubt whether the other party was deceiving her, but with Qingxue Ming and Qingxue Bing speaking, he completely believed it. With their experience in the martial world, it was not easy for them to be deceived.
“Father, how is elder sister now? This time we found the Rongshen Fruit in the Demon Domain Forest in the Western Sky Realm.”
Qingxue Silan seemed to have thought of something and immediately took out a jade box and handed it over. At the same time, she took out several pill bottles and said, “Father, these are healing elixirs that Master prepared for sister after he learned she was injured, and some for my cultivation. Please take a look; Master’s gifts should be beneficial for sister.”
Qingxue Futian took the pill bottles and asked in confusion, “Are these healing elixirs and cultivation pills given by that young man?”
Qingxue Ming and Qingxue Bing nodded from the side.
“Father, take a look at what kind of elixirs they are. I don’t know much about elixirs, and I’m not sure if these can help sister, but since they came from Master, they should be good,” Qingxue Silan said, convinced that what Master gave was definitely good stuff.
Qingxue Futian smiled slightly. From Qingxue Silan's account, he already knew that the one who saved his daughters was likely a young expert from a top power. Such a master would be powerful and definitely possess high-grade elixirs.
However, these elixirs typically wouldn't be overly powerful; they were just for daily cultivation and healing. His Qingxue family had developed in the Southern Heavenly Realm for many years and had some top-grade elixirs in the family. Since Silan's injury was quite special, ordinary healing elixirs wouldn’t help her.
